Is there a function in R that is equivalent to S-PLUS's seriesMerge(x1, x2, pos="union") where x1, and x2 are of class timeSeries seriesMerge is in S-PLUS's finmetrics. I looked into R's mergeSeries (in fSeries part of Rmetrics) but I could not make it behave quite the same. In R it expected a timeSeries object and a matrix of the same row count. In S-PLUS when using the

Finmetrics (in S-PLUS) has teh functions "positions" (return the positions of an ordered data object). Is there an equivalent to it in Remtrics? I am applying it to teh data of a time series.
